The moose (Alces alces) is a species of deer found in northern North America and Eurasia. It is the largest species of deer, with a distinctive broad, flat antler structure and a long, shaggy coat that can range from brown to black. The males, or bulls, have large, palmate antlers, while the females, or cows, have smaller, simple antlers or none at all.

Moose are well-adapted to the northern climates and are found in a variety of habitats, including forests, swamps, and tundras. They are herbivores and feed on a variety of vegetation, including leaves, shoots, and aquatic plants.

Moose are solitary animals and are primarily active at night. They are known for their vocalizations, including grunts, barks, and bellows, which they use to communicate with other members of their species.

Moose populations are stable in many areas, but have declined in others due to habitat loss, hunting, and disease. The species is considered to be a game species in many countries, with populations managed for hunting. Conservation efforts are underway in some areas to protect their habitats and preserve their populations, including measures to control hunting, promote sustainable forestry practices, and support research and monitoring programs.
